Cardi B has issued an apology following her rant about the LAPD was intended as a ‘joke’

Cardi B initially asserted that her encounter with the LAPD occurred the previous month. On Monday, she shared a story alleging that she was the subject of an investigation prompted by a fraudulent tip. According to the Grammy-winning rapper, officers arrived at her Los Angeles residence and instructed her to disrobe outdoors as part of their inquiry. However, Cardi later acknowledged the timing of her revelation was not ideal and admitted to her error. Her admission came shortly before TMZ released a report citing police sources who found no evidence to corroborate her account. Additionally, Cardi’s team issued a formal statement regarding the incident to Billboard.

“This IG live was taken out of context and there is no truth to this story,” the statement said. “Apologies for any confusion.”
